This is how I self taught my self to play footy when I first moved here. Brought over a cricket kit and the stumps were gradually made into goal posts.

Grew up not far from our local club oval and primary school, had lots of brothers and heaps of cousins in the same area, was always someone to kick with after school on non training night's.
I used to kick a ball around on the school oval while I waited for my mum after school but I stopped when I was about 10 after some kid riding by on a bike screamed "Bitch" at me.

In my defence I thought you were someone else.
All good mate. Incidentally what is your current address and how carefully do you open packages?

It depends whether they’re on fire when they’re left on my doorstep.
Nah, went to Mundaring
Yeah that would explain it

not really a spoiler as such but the way the kids spoke to Kerry on the phone was absolute gold. Really dislike her character in a sea of unlikeable characters.
I didn't end up watching yesterday, defo be into it tonight though.

Can’t believe they killed off Logan at the end of the first episode of the season, that’s a bold move.

He was actually working for internal affairs all along.
When my youngest sister started "big kid" primary school (there's a decent age gap between us, so I was no longer in primary school), I tried to talk up how good it was, you could borrow sports equipment at lunch time etc, she got so excited and borrowed cricket gear as soon as she could because my dad and I would play cricket with her during summer.
And no one wanted to play with her.
She just sat there all lunch time with a plastic cricket bat, ball and wickets before returning them at the end of lunch.
She never borrowed sports equipment again.
Almost 20 years later and I still get upset thinking about it

With the strides that have been made in women’s sport lately, you’d hope that wouldn’t be the case these days.
News.com.au might want to rethink their advertising algorithms for articles on school shootings

When I was in high school we had this girl move to the school who was from the country. Grew up on a farm and was tall and athletic.
For a novelty (that's what it was back then) they did a girls footy comp at the school for each house colour.
She dominated
She grew up playing sport with her brothers, so she would go in the ruck, win the tap, get the clearance and boot it to half forward.
From there she would either win it again and boot it deep, or sometimes roost a goal from 50 out.
Makes me wonder how she would have gone if there was a WAFLW or AFLW setup back then.
She ended up playing for the Western Fury but didn't progress very far as she was a bowler and started developing back issues.
What could have been if there was women's sport more available back then

Kids are still campaigners to other kids, albeit somewhat less campaignery than they used to be.

Don't get depressed when you turn 30. Just remember that that is the youngest you will ever be for the remainder of your life.Officially entered the last year in my twenties. In a year I’ll officially be a boomer like most on this app
Enjoy

Turning 30 for me was definitely a threshold for the commencement of the slow deterioration of physical capability in sports. It started when I noticed I was half a metre slower running between wickets than I used to be.
Don't get me started on what happens post-40.

For me, it was the morning that I woke up and for some reason my back was just completely ****ed. Could barely move. That was a fun day. And week.
